Many of the children were in new rooms and different classes, and this did not make them feel so much "at home" as before vacation. Nan Bobbsey's first duty, after reporting to her new teacher, was to go to the kindergarten room, and ask the teacher there if Flossie and Freddie might sit together. "You see," Nan explained, "this is really their first real school work.
Flossie greeted him, "Snoop came, and Snap kissed him!" "May we keep Snap, papa?" asked Freddie. "Yes," was Mr. Bobbsey's answer. "I have a letter from the circus man, and he will sell Snap to me. I have already sent the money. And there is another letter from the fat lady, telling about some of the new tricks she taught Snoop, so you can make him do them." "Oh! Oh!
They were to ride all that day, all night, and part of the next day before they would reach the cattle ranch which Mrs. Bobbsey's uncle had left her. The railroad trip was enjoyed by the Bobbseys, but the children were eager to get to the new place they were going to visit.
Bobbsey's office, the trolley car got off the track, on account of so much snow on the rails, and the children spent some time watching the men get it back, the electricity from the wire and rails making pretty flashes of blue fire. "What luck?" asked Mr. Bobbsey, as the three came in his private office, their faces shining and red with the glow of winter. "None," said Nan sadly. "Snoop is gone."
The train was due to arrive at Meadow Brook about five o'clock, and Mr. Bobbsey's brother, Uncle Daniel, was to meet the family at the station. "Ours is the next stop," said the twins' papa, after a while. "Get your things together now." "Oh, I had a fine sleep!" cried Freddie, stretching his chubby little arms. "So did I," added Flossie. "I wonder if Snoop slept any?"
There were not many buildings down by the lake, only some boat shelters and places like that. The Bobbsey's boathouse was a fine large one, having recently been made bigger as Mr. Bobbsey was thinking of buying a new motor boat. Mr. Bobbsey and his son hurried on, following the crowd that filled the street leading to the lake. Several gentlemen knew the lumber merchant, and called to him.
Just then there came along two large boys, Frank Cobb, and his particular chum, Irving Knight. "What's going on here; a race?" asked Frank. "It looks that way," said Irving. "Oh, will you push us off?" begged Bert, appealing to Frank, whose father worked in Mr. Bobbsey's lumber yard. "Sure we will," answered Frank good-naturedly.

Together the children walked down the street, past Mr. Bobbsey's lumber yard, and then they were out in a part of the city where there were very few houses. It was almost like the country. A little later they came to the woods.
"Then I'm going to be the ring-master and crack a big whip and wear big boots!" cried Freddie. "I do hope papa will be home for Christmas," sighed Nan, for Mr. Bobbsey's business trip, in relation to lumber matters, had kept him away from home longer than expected. "I have good news for you, children," said Mrs. Bobbsey, coming into the room just then with a letter.
